CT PNS ( NAVIGATION PROTOCOL )

In the dynamic field of endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, the integration of tracking technology and navigation systems by Hypro Diagnostics has ushered in a revolutionary paradigm. Rather than supplanting the surgeon’s expertise, these systems serve as force multipliers, enriching their understanding of anatomy and refining the surgical experience. The optical and electromagnetic tracking technologies championed by Hypro Diagnostics have proven adept at meeting the demanding requirements of intraoperative navigation. This harmonious fusion has not only elevated the precision of surgical interventions but has concurrently led to a reduction in complication rates. The effectiveness of the navigation system is contingent upon several factors, including image modality, tracking technology, and registration techniques. Significantly, these systems empower surgeons with real-time information on bony anatomy, lesion size and position, and the precise locations of critical structures such as the carotid artery and optic nerve. This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced disparities between optical and electromagnetic tracking systems, unraveling their unique roles and impacts in the context of endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery as implemented by Hypro Diagnostics.
